 Walkaround

The 2008 Volvo S60 looks like a smaller version of the big S80 luxury sedan. It looks compact at first glance, but it's relatively large and roomy. What you can't see is all the engineering designed to protect the people riding inside the structure. It's there that Volvo's reputation for safety continues and deservedly so.

S60 has a hunched-shoulder look to the rear flanks, suggesting a hockey player ready to lead a charge up the ice.

The front grille and fascia were face-lifted slightly for 2007, improving aerodynamics and adding a touch of visual crispness, particularly below the bumper. It's a subtle change, but we like it. At the same time the outside mirrors were redesigned to incorporated integrated turn signals that automatically flash three times with light pressure on the turn signal stalk. There are no further changes in appearance for 2008.

Active Bi-Xenon headlamps are available on the T5 as part of the Advanced Package. A mini-processor gathers data to optimize their beam pattern, and the beams can be turned up to 15 degrees in either direction.
